The Boston Celtics are in need of veteran depth at the four, and Blake Griffin is about to get out of his current situation with the Detroit Pistons — could the two parties make for a good fit to finish out this season together? The New York Times’ Marc Stein notes both Boston and the Brooklyn Nets are interested, as a point of departure.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that Griffin’s contract will be bought out by Detroit, and despite the veteran forward’s comparative struggles this season, there will likely be several other teams styling themselves contenders inquiring about his services once he clears waivers.
That’s because while knee and other injuries have robbed Griffin of his iconic explosive athleticism in recent years, the soon-to-be ex-Piston has also reinvented his game in ways which can help plenty of ball clubs when healthy.
